Empire was directed by Irvin Kershner, with the script by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan. Most agree that Empire was the best out of all 5 that have been made (you can see why!). Return of the 'George' saw Lucas play a role in the script, and of course has been Executive Producer of all 5. I'd say by the time they started work in Return (around 1980), Hollywood just started seeing the massive monetary benefits of merchandising. And they have been 'selling out' ever since...... :-) (We better end this thread now before the list nanny gets angry :-) Seeya Rod!
